Abstract

The world economy has been expanding strongly, with widespread, healthy growth in both employment and labor productivity. But unemployment remains a problem in many countries. Globally, almost half the unemployed people are young (ages 15–24), although they make up only 25 percent of the working-age population, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO).
